Easton Urban Farm Pilot Project

Rosa spent yesterday evening volunteering at the Easton Urban Farm and Community Garden located behind the Neighborhood Center off Philadelphia Road. Beside the community garden plots, volunteers at the farm have planted produce to share with food bank recipients.  So far, potatoes, onions, butternut squash, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, beans, corn, herbs and flowers have been planted to share.

Morning at the Plant Exchange

Rosa spent the morning volunteering at the plant exchange held at the Promenade Shops in Saucon Valley. Oh the perennials that came in! Rosa wanted to take them all home, well maybe not the Rose of Sharon, but everything else!  However, she had to share like everyone else. So Rosa picked up some Hechura with tiny white speckled leaves, a Russian Sage plant and a blue balloon flower.  Rosa and friends are nibbling on the idea of a fall plant exchange in Easton, start thinking now about what perennials will need to be divided up in the fall and what you would like to see in your garden and stay tuned for details!
